Question:Mine are different models of Sabian Ziljian and Paiste. Bought them cuz of the sound they made and not cuz they all look alike. What's every body else use?

Yeah man I use Sabian AAX hats crash and ride they were the best sounding within my budget and compliment each other perfect, I also have an Zildjian A rock crash thats awesome really raw and a stagg splash. I dont belive in chosing stuff for the name in fact i think you should buy drum stuff blindfolded.

I always stuck with one brand, but see no problem with mix matching if they give you the sound your looking for.

i also use sabian, ziljian and paiste( i prefer paiste) and also wuhan for the small chinas and splashes, beacuse i like the diffrent sounds, and also avalibility is an issue sometimes, its harder to find paiste where i live. and i dont buy cymbals online, i only buy ones i can try out first.
